As we move through May, Carbondale offers a variety of events to engage the community. Here are some highlights:
Art Exhibitions at Carbondale Arts Gallery
Currently on display at the Carbondale Arts Gallery are two compelling exhibitions:
- “Material Haiku MMXXVI” by Gaby Oshiro: This exhibition delves into the evocative power of materials and techniques, exploring the balance between subtraction and addition, destruction and creation, chaos and order.
- “Kindred Spirits” by Christine Anderson and Benjamin Strawn: A collaborative showcase by ceramic artist Christine Anderson and abstract painter Benjamin Strawn, highlighting their shared creative vision and decades-long friendship.
Both exhibitions are open Monday through Friday, 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and will run through May 21, 2026. For more details, visit the Carbondale Arts website.
